One photograph sent by Arthur Gershman to Paul H. and Margaret Lobik dated June 18, 1945. Features a crowd of people on the street. Possibly looking through the gate at a courtyard. The back of the photo identifies it as Baghdad 1945.

Paul H. Lobik changed his last name from Hlobik between June and August of 1936. As a result the earlier letters in his collection are addressed to Paul Hlobik and the later letters are addressed to Paul. H. Lobik. To remain constant and honor his choice of name he is listed in all letters as Paul H. Lobik.

Lobik, Paul H., 1915-1998
Gershman, Arthur, fl. 1944
Lobik, Margaret, 1919-1983
